RECENT PUBLICATIONS,

In the particular realm of history with
which he has to do William E. q. Leckey is
''almost without fault as an historian, and
as critic without a peer" In his "Histo-
ry of the Eighteenth Century" volumes V
and VI of which have just appeared, we find
the evidences of his continued industry in
the line of literature and observation. He
has gone further than Macaulay even into
the pamphlets, newspapers and every kind
of literature of the last century in search OF
candles by which the manners and customs
of that century may be lighted. AS an au-
thor che never touches a subject without
presenting to the eye some hitherto unob-
served angle and fact,'' and to him is to be
credited the best history Of the eighteenth
century. He has corrected many errors and
his manner of treatment is of the broadest
philosophical kind, impartial in every i'll
stance. No library of history can afford to
be without this valuable contribution. The
works of this author win and hold place
for themselves. D. Appleton & Co., pub
fishers, New York. For sale in this city by
Judd the bookseller.
The readers of Longfellow will welcome
new book entitled ''Longfellow-His Life,
His Works and His Friendships" by George
Lowell Austin. The author in preparing the
volume has had in view one object, namely
to present a clear, popular picture of the
poets literary life. The details of personal
and private life, of correspondence between
Mr. Longfellow and his friends and admirers
are avoided. Writing from the standpoint
of friendship, many of the writer's own rec
objections of the poet are scattered through
out the work. The book is prepared with
the knowledge and consent of, together with
valuable helps from, the family of the poet.
Correspondence with classmates and with

value and interest The portraits of Mr..
Longfellow are admirable. The life of this
great man throughout was plea for and
example of eheerfulness and good will to

but help toward the learning of the same
useful and ennobling lesson. Lee & Shep
